Client-Server Computing Basics

Client/server computing involves distributing tasks between client and server machines. The client makes a service request to the server, and the server fulfills the request and returns the results to the client over a network. Common server types include file servers, data servers, compute servers, database servers, and communication servers. Client/server computing focuses on distributing the application processing between the client and server software.

A simple definition

A simple definition of CS is
“ server software accepts requests for
data from client software and returns
the results to the client”
Elements of C-S Computing

a client, a server, and network

Where Operations are Done

In CS Relationship “most of the


application processing is done on
a computer (client side), which
obtains application services (such
as database services) from
another computer (server side) in
a master slave configuration

Categories of Servers

FileServer
Data Server
Compute Server
Database Server
Communication Server
Video Server
File Server

File Servers manage a work group’s


application and data files, so that they
may be shared by the group.
Very I/O oriented
Pull large amount of data off the storage
subsystem and pass the data over the
network
Requires many slots for network
connections and a large-capacity, fast
hard disk subsystem.
Compute Server

Performs Application logic processing


Compute Servers requires
 processors with high performance
capabilities
 large amounts of memory
 relatively low disk subsystems
By separating data from the computation
processing, the compute server’s
processing capabilities can be optimized
Cluster as Compute Server
Data Server

 Data-oriented; used only for data


storage and management Data
Server
 Since a data server can serve more
than one compute server, compute-
intensive applications can be spread
among multiple severs
Compute
 Does not prefer any application Server
logic processing
 Performs processes such as
data validation, required as part
of the data management function.
 Requires fast processor, large amount
of memory and substantial Hard disk
capacity.
Communication Server

 Provides gateway to other LANs, networks


& Computers
 E-mail Server & internet server
 Modest system requirements
 multiple slots
 fast processor to translate
networking protocols
